Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

In EA, you can specify additional information about an Element, and which will then belong to only that element.

To see the list of this data in EA, select the Element in the Project Browser, and select EA | More Element Tools | Element Browser, or Alt+9.

The full list of this information, and how it can be printed is below:

"Element Requirements"

Scenarios

"Scenarios"

Available for any element, but only really make sense for Use Cases or their derivatives.

Maintenance

"Element Issues"

EA allows these to be of types "Issue", "Defect", "Change" and "Task".

By default, eaDocX will print these all the same way. To make them print differently, create stereotypes of <<Issue>>, <<Defect>> etc and define separate printing for the in the usual way.

Testing

"Element Tests"

EA allows these to be Unit, Integration, System, Acceptance or Scenario tests.

By default, eaDocX will print these all the same way. To make them print differently, create stereotypes of <<Unit>>, <<System>> etc and define separate printing for the in the usual way.

Project Management

"Element Resources", "Element Effort", "Element Risks" or "Element Metrics"

eaDocX treats these as separate types of information, so that each one can have a separate eaDocX profile entry. Just choose the attribute from the Standard Attributes list, and eaDocX will create a default profile entry for each one, which you can then edit.
